Abstract

This IDC study provides a sizing of the North America datacenter infrastructure channels market in 2012 and a forecast for 2013-2017. Historical and forecast end-user spend data is shown for the North American market by primary hardware market: servers, storage, and enterprise networking.

"The channel will continue to play a critical role in the datacenter infrastructure market, but it's important that vendors be in front of the trends that are impacting channel partner health so success can be maintained." - Paul Edwards, director, Infrastructure Channels, IDC.
